The schedule of craft shows that Joelle's Dolls will do in 2012 is still being sorted out. This is the time of year that I apply to be a vendor. I won't know if I've been accepted at some of these shows for months. This year, I'm not applying to some shows I've done in past years outside Central New York. But I do hope to add one new show in Lockport, NY, to the lineup. Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll see you at these shows in 2012:

June 16: Art on the Porches, Syracuse, NY
July 27-29: Montgomery Street Arts Cooperative show (adjacent to the Syracuse Arts & Crafts Fest), Syracuse, NY
Aug. 25-26: Elmwood Avenue Festival of the Arts, Buffalo, NY
Sept. 16: Westcott Street Cultural Fair, Syracuse, NY
Oct. 13-14: LaFayette Apple Festival, LaFayette, NY
Nov. 16-18: Kenan Center Holiday Gift Fair, Lockport, NY
Dec. 1-2: Plowshares Craftsfair & Peace Festival, Syracuse, NY

A tough year in the arts & crafts business

2011 has been a strange year for Joelle's Dolls. Overall, I've had poor sales at the arts & craft shows we've been at - much worse than 2010. But my Etsy online shop sales have been twice as good as last year. I'm not sure how to explain that, but I'm sure thankful that Al Gore invented the Internet.
I do know that it is tough to sell handmade dolls in a bad economy.
